Tubes and hot-fill sticks, ready when you are

Why brands call

Open tube capacity is hard to find. We have it

Tubes are one of the most-requested formats in personal care, and open line time is scarce. We run tube filling in-house across laminate and aluminum for skincare, OTC topicals, SPF, and aftercare, so you're not waiting in someone else's queue.

Bring a formula or start from our library. Either way, formulation and filling happen in the same building, and the product stays consistent batch to batch.

Hot-fill sticks

Hot-fill sticks, poured and set in-house

A specialty format

SPF sticks, lip balm, and treatment sticks

Hot-fill formulas are poured molten and cooled to a consistent set, with no sink marks or pull-away at the edge. Getting that right takes real process control, and it's a format we run every week: SPF sticks, lip balms, face and cleansing balms, and analgesic sticks.

It also pairs with our sun-care and OTC work. A continuous-spray SPF, an SPF lotion, and an SPF stick can all come from the same manufacturer.
